i personally use the same decathlon set. very bang for the buck. beats riding without any rain protection and you stay relatively dry. just a note, i fold in the hood into the raincoat when i wear it so that it stops the rainwater from coming in the top and also so that it doesnt flap in the wind. very ok!

[@tri333ple]

Thanks for the feedback buddy!! Will be helpful!!! ❤

[@Blayer1]

1. Should do a water holding test to see if the raincoat will leak at the seam portion. Thats the most common issue we will face after use. 2. And maybe a follow up of long term use. If more expensive last longer then the cheaper one. 3. Test riding glove next? Or sliders / crash bar

[@tri333ple]

Great ideas! Riding gloves 😋😋😋

[@JoeRockWeller]

The bike wash segment was funny AF! 😂

[@tri333ple]

Glad that you enjoyed it buddy! Thank you for watching!!! 😁

The day I got my license it was raining but I couldn't wait anymore. Luckily I had a Decatlon rain poncho laying around I used for my bicycle (was under €20) and was completely fine after riding 2 hours. I didn't have rain pants so my pants were wet but my upper body was completely fine

[@Ace-cv1xd]

i was hoping you guys would touch on durability or how long it can last before the waterproof lining starts to break. i think that can justify the expensive price tag. waterproofing alone is not enough. i think we can all agree that the common raincoats we use for daily riding (e.g. ~50-90$ range) seem to always break down and spoil faster than expected. and in a country like singapore where it rains quite alot and rather unexpectedly, durability of the material is very important.

[@fabianlalruatfela2689]

Decathlon pants lining lasts for a single monsoon

[@VictorHugo_STX]

ótimo canal e ótimo vídeo. considere legendar os vídeos, principalmente em português, no Brasil usamos muito motocicletas, e sofremos muito com a chuva por ser um país tropical 😂

[@benlim3196]

The decathlon raincoat. I used it as a emergency raincoat... And also i will wear it over my riding jacket when rain... When u wear it over the riding jacket... Wont feel so painful when rain... The only thing that annoy me about the decathlon one... It flutters in the wind and can hear the noise in the helmet

[@tri333ple]

Ahh yes the fluttering from loose fit rain coats, very irritating 🌧

[@ZediMaster]

Gr8 vid, tri333ple. Gr8 conclusion, let your applications determine which is better for you; the cheap may not be a total failure. Anyway, ride safe, god bless u all.

[@holisticaustralia]

I love your show fella's, good vibes all round and a good laugh too.. ❤

[@tri333ple]

Thanks for watching buddy.. 😁👌🏍🏍

@@tri333ple Thanks for providing good content! (;{~

[@bd1982]

I'm using RS-Tachi for the second time, quite durable during long storage. To my surprise was that under the maintenance guide, if waterproofing compromised after some use. Owner can place a piece of cloth over it and apply warm iron on the spot.

[@tri333ple]

have you tried it yet? haha

[@bd1982]

@@tri333ple haha not yet, but i'll definitely try it out when time comes!

[@TheLimhammett]

My rstaichi drymaster lasted me for 5 years. Need to really let it dry before folding and keeping in the box

[@faristaufiq8256]

What about the size?

[@zaeda84]

If you have the budget, go for the expensive one. But if you don't, just the cheap one. just to make you dry in the rain. And avoid going for 90-120 on a rainy day. It's dangerous as the road is slippery. Ride safe always.

[@calvinvuongera]

May I know which decathlon raincoat set is this? Thanks

[@pilyomotoride7781]

I used a decathlon on a 400km ride on a stormy weather and stayed dry inside.

[@hruaiass]

Best detail review ever 👍👍

[@iggywoo8955]

I use the Decathlon set too $10 for the top + small towels to cover the zip part, pants come with shoe cover from decathlon not sure how much. My shoes get wet if its raining heavily "storm"

[@tri333ple]

Use the rain shoe cover!

[@MegaPhill93]

even the ad part is fun to watch 😝

[@tri333ple]

Thanks buddy. We hope the ad was fun to watch for everyone .

[@rollakid]

The steam one, isn't it like the Goretex material or something, where it is breathable and waterproof, but it only do one at a time. If it is dry, it let steam go through. But once it touch water, it sealed up to be waterproof, but also mean no air go through?

[@muhammadfirman5293]

The decathlon comfirm balloon riding one 😂😂😂😂😂

[@izecubez]

I cracked at the segway to the headbuff..Awesome

[@izecubez]

But to be honest, the rain pants I love the most was the icon pdx2. zips on the inner thigh, goes all the way up past the knee. so even tall boots are a no issue. Suspenders so you know the pants wont sag down. But cant say the same for the jacket.. So sad cant get that pants anymore..

[@tri333ple]

@@izecubez good things dont last. Thats life!!!!!

[@molarmassz]

Honestly the decathlon one is quite bad. When riding in moderate to heavy rain water will seep in through the zip area even if you zip up all the way and it’s also a hassle to have to remove your helmet just to put on the rain coat.

[@tri333ple]

thanks for sharing!

[@Dominicfearful]

i got one really old secondhand motowolf raincoat which leaks at the seams everywhere and also the pants is leaking at the crotch area and i also have the decathlon top. I just double layer the motowolf then the decat over and then i use a big plastic bag and tuck it in my pants waistband to cover my crotch. works like a charm i only just get a slightly damp ass after a really heavy rain gg abt 70-90 on average

[@fetB]

fun fact: if the body reached boiling temp, you're unalived already

[@Woopy11]

Haha well done. Innovations at play.

[@faristaufiq8256]

Ma what size your wear the drymaster?

[@botakcurry]

question: Raincoat over riding jacking or without is preferred? question to seasoned rider...

[@tri333ple]

Of course the added protection would help. 😄😄😄

[@botakcurry]

@@tri333ple wearing riding jacket , i become a 肉包. Riding jacket + Raincoat = me max become 大包.

[@faziwuzy138]

to add on to the question, Raincoat over riding jacking OR Raincoat only OR wear a waterproof all-weather riding jacket

[@freakyjos]

so far my experience with raincoats is that the pants are too short and hikes up when i sit on my bike. so even with wearing waterproof boots i will still get wet socks. anyone have recommendations for long rain pants for tall people?

[@tri333ple]

Either you wear a high cut waterproof boots or be like Amos, he wears the shoe condom 😄

[@daddada2984]

Nice review.

[@tri333ple]

Thank you for watching!!

[@x2s7]

how about a poncho + scooter combination?(scooter have underbone design so it does not block the poncho) is that dangerous?

[@tri333ple]

Surely works but don't come with those extra handy features the motorcycle raincoat gives you 😄

[@tanhy1522]

The taichi raincoat from which country?

[@bd1982]

brand itself from Japan, but rain coat made in one of the south east asia country.

[@danieltayhh]

Damn funny video

[@grizzlycountry5539]

Decathlon one is not waterproof, rain goes trough chest zipper and trough right pocket.
